Is Lindsey Graham About to Get Outed?
Gay rights activist Mike Rogers, the professional outer of closeted, hypocritical gay politicians, claims to have "pictures of a man who spent the night" with Sen. Lindsey Graham. He's supposedly meeting with his lawyer today before releasing them.

Rogers' previous outings of Ex-Rep. Mark Foley, Ex-Sen. Larry Craig and Ex-RNC chair Ken Mehlman, among others, once earned him the completely arbitrary title of "most feared man on the Hill." He keeps a list, and there are still many names on it.

Lindsey Graham has been hounded by gay rumors since his first runs for Congress in the '90s. He has never been married, which, to some, proves everything. The rumors still come up regularly, like when another South Carolina politician let it slip in a 2009 interview. And the New York Times Magazine asked him about it in a big profile earlier this year, to which Graham responded, "I ain't gay."

1. About time
Graham is turning into John McCain without the goiter on his neck. He should resign in disgrace.

5. If I tell a homosexual they are lying and are a heterosexual and I know better than them
That's insulting so why is the reverse a progressive value?

10. It's an open secret that he's gay
It's as well know in DC circles as Ken Mehlman's orientation was. But he pretends to be straight so he can beat up on other gays for the folks back in SC.

6. This gay man has nothing but contempt for Lindsey Graham & David Dreier
And I prefer them to stay in their hell of closets for the rest of their lives.

These are men, who unlike LGBT Americans, sold their souls for ambition and power and who chose to use that power to hurt LGBT American women, girls, boys and men.

These are very, very vile human beings and, the fact that they are homosexuals does not endear them to me in anyway, shape or form no more than it would for Jeffery Dahmer.

I've spent my entire life since 17 fighting for LGBT civil rights and nothing is more treacherous to me than closeted right-wing gay men who made their deal with the devil.

My LGBT sisters and brothers are betrayed and crushed by closeted homosexuals (and it's almost always men, isn't it?) like Lindsey Graham and David Dreier.

If there was a hell, they'd be in the hottest spot of all.

Wretched people.

7. Never being married is not a mark of potential homosexuality.
At least not in the minds of educated people, as you seem to have alluded. I have never married, or seriously dated women. But sleeping with another man, or being romantically attracted to another man is not a feeling I have ever had. My life has been career centered for marriage, raising children or dating of any kind. This poster can understand that Graham can be never married and straight as an arrow. But if Graham is gay and is seeing men in the closet, the hypocrisy of his politics over many years should come full force to haunt him until his dying day.

13. If he has pictures of a man who claims he spent the night with Graham
then they're not worth anything.
